Acupuncture in Specialties I

Métodos de ensino

The teaching methodology will be mostly theoretical (expository). The resolution and discussion of clinical cases in class context is also extremely important for the consolidation of contents. These exercises will be held in theoretical-practical classes with a demonstrative first moment. The evaluation of knowledge will be carried out at end of each theme through two theoretical frequencies, with equal weight (50%), that will also evaluate practical knowledge, through the resolution of clinical cases. The final grade of the course will be the arithmetic mean of the classifications obtained in each one of the frequencies.
